In 2007 Eduard Lintner made the headlines as for voting against resolution 1580 (2007) in the Council of Europe.

The resolution calls on the member states to actively counter the views expressed by creationists or supporters of "intelligent design" and to classify them as a threat to freedom and democracy in Europe.

The resolution aimed to support Darwin's theory of evolution in teaching of biology in public schools in Europe.

Lintner denied supporting creationist theories and explained his voting behavior by saying that the dangers of creationism were greatly exaggerated in the text of the resolution and that with this resolution the Council of Europe was improperly attempting to intervene in the educational sovereignty of the German federal states.

Eduard Lintner has been actively lobbying for the government of Azerbaijan, which is known for serious human rights violations and heavy crackdown on opposition.

He was on the board of trustees of the German-Azerbaijani Forum, a lobbying association that is close to the autocratic Azerbaijani regime, which was described by Lobbycontrol as a "dubious Azerbaijan network" and made the headlines in the wake of the "Aserbaidschan-Affäre" lobbying scandal in the German Bundestag.
